Welcome to the wild and woolly world of abdominal training!”
Wild because most everyone ignores it except for six weeks prior
to swimsuit season, and woolly because wool is what infomercials
try to pull over your eyes when they try to sell you the “next fast track to a six pack.”
The truth is that unless you begin with an existing four-pack and an
effective dietary regime, there is no “fast track to a six pack.
Relating abdominal training to reducing the size of your waist is like avoiding regular maintenance on your car and then trying to repair any problems that arise by fixing the road; one is not directly related to the other.
From an abdominal training perspective, proper muscular function,
postural enhancement, and strength development are all
possible, even probable, via a sound exercise route, which is
what we are offering here. To dispel common myths and mythtakes,
use this as your abs primer. This is your Coles Notes for fit folks.
Note: This program is intended for healthy individuals free of
back pain. Exercising the deep abdominal and back muscles can
strengthen and protect the back by helping to prevent injuries;
however, abdominal training or any other fitness-based programs
should not be attempted without the clearance of your
doctor, physiotherapist, and probably your lawyer as well. If
your physician has cleared you to engage in this abdominal
training program then welcome to your future.
Do you really want a six-pack? The most important group of
muscles and the hardest to control for abdominal definition are
located just above your chin and below your nose. How you
look is what you eat, not what you do. This is not a diet book,
but if you want to see any indication of the stronger abdominal
wall we are going to establish in the next six weeks, we have to
deal with this, the toughest issue, first.
Regardless of how often and how well you work out, it is what
you eat that will be the number-one determinant of your
health. More than likely, eating is the last thing you want to
deal with while you get in shape, but you cannot put the cart
before the horse. It is far easier to make sure that you work out
hard five or six times a week than it is to eat well three or four
times a day. Did I say work out five or six times a week? Yes,
ultimately that is what this book is all about, getting off the
couch, putting down your fork, and stepping away from the
table.
Realistically we do not need rest as much as we need exercise.
We rest our muscles every day while sitting at a desk, in a car,
on the phone, or watching television. Fighting this trend and
changing your body is going to take a little pain, a little resistance,
and a lot of willpower. The truth is that you should be
physically active in one form or another as many days a week as
you eat. As we age our metabolism slows, our muscle mass
degenerates, and the frivolous food choices made in our past
catch up to us.
Any hope we have of proudly baring ripped bellies
lies in establishing functional long-term eating habits. Now I
am not saying you cant break out of the cave once in a while
and hunt down a pack of wild Oreos, but if its abdominal definition
you’re after, closer attention to dietary detail is a necessity.
